What is the aim of the European Championships?

The aim of the games is to 'increase the level of awareness and recognition' that sporting achievements deserve by 'creating a must-watch, must-attend experience that elevates all Champions of Europe'. The championships is inpired by the like of swimmer Adam Peaty who won 4 gold medals and set 2 world records at the 2014 games. Not many had heard of Peaty before the games and the games is a way of increasing the profile of these stars whilst delivering an unforgettable and spectacular event for sport, the host cities and everyone involved.

Harper Macleod's work with Glasgow 2018

It's fantastic to have another major championship such as this in Scotland and I’m looking forward to the event.

It's a real motivation for me and all our swimmers, and I'm sure all the athletes in the other six sports, to have the reward of a home championships driving us on to do our best and hopefully make the team. Nothing beats having a home support spurring you on when it comes to the competition.

Dan Wallace, Olympic Silver Medalist, 2017

“One clear legacy of the previous championships is that Glasgow, and indeed Scotland, is now regarded as an international sporting centre of excellence and major events such as this provide economic stimulus as well as a feel good factor which is almost impossible to quantify."
